My partnership with Marko has come to an end. These years full of emotions and challenges will stay with me. Proud of our journey and resilience after my 2022 accident. Now, a new chapter begins with new opportunities. Thank you for your continued support.

Thank you for the powerful stories and messages. By using #metooskating , we amplify our voices for meaningful change. Each story is a testament to survivors' courage and highlights the importance of pushing for a safer community.

I ask everyone not to harass or attack those who express opinions, even if they are misguided. My goal is to inform and protect, not to incite conflict. Thank you for your understanding and support. #metooskating

Through this post, I want to highlight this reality: speaking up also exposes one to hostility and judgment from those who would rather not listen. Yet, it is vital to continue sharing our stories because every voice raised can save, raise awareness, and offer support.

Speaking out to denounce injustice and share one’s experience is an act of courage. But this choice also means enduring horrible messages, having one’s words questioned, and one’s pain ignored. #metooskating
